- You are a hunter at heart and are comfortable self-sourcing a majority of your own pipeline
- You have a growth mindset and are excited to tackle the challenges of a high growth startup

- You skillfully guide prospects through their entire buying process—engaging the right stakeholders at the right time to create consensus for a strategic technology decision
- You become both a product and industry expert. You create ‘Ah ha!’ moments in collaboration with your Solutions Engineer to build momentum & solve customer-specific challenges
- Your peers describe you as detail oriented. You send timely & crisp follow-up emails. You take pride in internal operations, like real-time CRM updates

- You're excited to land the biggest deals we've ever done. You are diligent and gritty and have demonstrated perseverance to win long, competitive sales cycles
- You're a creative problem solver and comfortable with some healthy ambiguity. You'll help us refine our Enterprise go-to-market motion to maximize the segment's results over time
- You're willing to travel for company events, customer meet ups and on-sites
- Familiarity with Talent Acquisition and HR tools and workflows
- A network that includes Heads of Talent whom you can tap into
What the job involves
- You will help us win Enterprise accounts in Eastern and Central time zones by managing the full sales cycle from pipeline generation through to won
- You can expect to own a curated list of excellent fit, high propensity accounts as well as a geographic territory with significant market opportunity
- In this role, you'll primarily focus on new logo acquisition via a healthy mix of inbound and outbound, while also covering a small number of customer accounts for expansion and upsell
- Our emphasis is on your ability to excel in the areas listed below and your appetite for continuous growth & improvement
Application process
- Our interview process is thorough — we assess if you are the right fit for Ashby and we will provide ample information for you to determine if Ashby is the right place for you. The process for this role is as follows:
- Intro Call (30 min) - You'll meet with a Recruiter to discuss your fit for the role and address questions about our market and solution
- Written Exercise - You'll complete a short take home assignment to showcase your outbound muscle
- Experience Deep Dive (60 min) - You'll walk the Hiring Manager through your career journey in some detail to highlight your experience, achievements, and points of learning to understand how you've developed into the professional you are today
- Challenge Interview (90 min) - This will be made up of two parts:
- Discovery and Demo Role Play (60 min)
- Deal Strategy Discussion (30 min)
Our take
Reportedly, 50% of employers don’t use applicant tracking systems, largely because of blockers with implementation or insufficient buy-in from top management. Ashby's co-founder and CEO, Benji Encz, experienced first-hand how existing solutions failed to support hyper-growth hiring needs whilst working at PlanGrid, which is in part what led to the creation of the company.
Ashby is looking to redefine the ATS category - providing talent teams with analytics, workflows and automation - and intends to replace solutions from well-established vendors like Greenhouse and Lever with algorithms. The company's AI can schedule interviews and infer demographic data, which clients use for aggregate analyses of DEI hiring metrics.
The market for recruitment software could potentially reach $3.5 billion by 2030. Unsurprisingly, there is now a growing number of startups emerging to compete for a slice of it. Despite the crowded market and having only emerged from stealth in 2022, Ashby has already secured over 500 clients (including high-profile customers like Notion and Figma). The company has also attracted impressive funding, which will be used to expand its product offering beyond what is typically expected from an ATS and grow its customer success and community initiatives.
